Due to AI, I have disabled external pull requests on all my repos. Open source, as we have known it, was fun while it lasted. (It’s been 15 years for me) I will still maintain projects and handle issues.

I switch to BetterMouse when my Logi MX mouse decided it wouldn't work without an internet connection, so seeing this web site is a FUCK YEAH moment. openlogi.org/en Stupid companies thinking for a second that devices need a cloud. Mouse + cloud = broken trust. (Same goes for flipping cars!)

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

for those that need to test out some automated, weird, or destructive workflows. try it out on pds.rip. a pds that generates accounts for you that only last 7 days. never worry about leaving behind random junk on other peoples infra, ours cleans up after you. support for did:plc and did:web

pds.rip

An AT Protocol sandbox. Accounts are issued on request and destroyed on schedule.

100% true. And, honestly, one of the secrets to @nodejs.org's longevity is that we exactly built resilience to this into the governance. No single company can represent more than 1/3 of the TSC for instance. It's never perfect but with effort companies can participate rather than dominate.

Slow down frontier model development. Bring open weights to current frontier. Build out local inference providers, stabilize hardware prices, focus on cost and token throughput for a bit. Get our software updated to handle what's being thrown at us. I would not mind spending a beat on distribution.

Kind of a long shot, but I’ll ask: Has anyone put their design patterns and rules into a proper graph db or graph RAG to support your design system ontology? Looking to bounce some ideas with someone in the design-engineer space and maybe compare notes.

I’ve been a little too heads-down building these last few years… Unfortunately in the past month or two I’ve come to the conclusion that while I’m proud of what I built, my startup has one last swing left and it’s not one that needs me. So I am on the hunt for what’s next, be it leadership or IC.

This summer we drove 15,574.1 km (9,677.3 miles) on our road trip. I paid ~$1,300 for "gas", mostly on superchargers on long driving days. We stayed at hotels with free charging or had extended stays at campgrounds, slow charging there. I created roadbook.us to help me plan trips like these.

Did someone wearing Meta Glasses film you today? Are you sure?

People say they’ve been secretly filmed in their own homes, at concerts and at work. Are the wildly popular smartglasses the final nail in the coffin of personal privacy?

One thing about speeding that many drivers refuse to accept: In urban and suburban environments, speeding doesn't even get you somewhere significantly faster. You are just getting to your next red light or highway choke point faster. You are endangering other people for almost no upside.

Shout-out to libraries. Where else can you just chill outside with a 4yo as you pretend to be magic fairies careening about a large grassy area, then pop indoors for air conditioning, coloring pages, and benches to read four books in a row that you then get to take home, no charge? Libraries rule.
